A Mutual Apology.

New YORK, September 16.-Letters were
made public tonight regarding the declina-
ton of Mrs. Cleveland of the invitation to
present certain flags to the fire department
in this city on the ground that the Presi-
dent himself is not also invited. The first
is from President Beckman, of the Board OF
Aldermen, to President Cleveland, sayingin
subst ance that the matter had been misin-
terpreted by portion OF the public, and
assuring the President that in nothing
could the city be less wanting than vel.

the misrepresentation, and saying neither
Mrs. Cleveland nor himself had the
slightest idea OF any discourtesy to
him (the Presdent) either intended or
appea red in the invitation. nor was Mrs.
Cleveland g reply intended to recognise or
admit the existence OF any such intention.
Mrs. Cleveland was simply not willing to
assume such a public role, entirely indie

now glad she declined, because the
plain meaning of h declination is dis
torted. He is sure her conduct would have
been so construed if she had accepted.
They regret any disappointment to the
people or the 6remen OF New York.

Hon. II. r. Wolcots, Of Colorado. Gives
: ais v,sws On tho Salt Question-A
Largo Sheep shipment-Great Fails
HELENA, September 1e.-[special to The
Miner, by Rocky Mountain Telegraph.]-
Hon. Henry r. Wolcott, OF Colorado, and
one Of the large owners in the Colorado
Smeltsr, the Gagnon mine and the Bu'lins-
ton group, il here. In talk to-day he
stated that While the salt business had
been q detriment to the Butte interests,
the great question was that OF the high
price of labor. In his opinion this would
not be con idered at the present time. but
a reduction was inevitable in the near fu-
ture. He knew OF no concerted act on
looking to this end, but the circumstances
all pointed that way. The low price OF
silver and the low wages in Leadvi'le, and
the low price OF copper and the
low rate of wages in the lake region.
Butte's two great competitors, render it
impossible for the Butte miners to con-
tinue operations without loss. But for
the high rate OF wages he would have begun
development on the Star of the West; as it
was, he did not feel justified in doing any
thing with that promising property.
